I just bought one of these. It hasn’t even arrived yet. Guessing there’s going to be a return soon.

It’s pretty good and it gives me iMessage on Android. Super useful.

You gotta check out Digital Foundry for GPUs and Hardware Canucks for cases/accessories.

Give it a week. You shortly will not go back.

The back button on ios is super far away. Back gesture you can do anywhere.

Nothing is barely a brand already. They’re going to split up into a sub brand? To make even cheaper stuff?

Idk I just checked again and it had 8 updates, one of them from June 22 on an app that I open and use daily. I don’t leave it plugged in all night every night, but I’m sure I’ve done so at least once since June.

Imagine if MS let them have Halo. The world would be so different. Gamers would have flocked to macs instead of Xbox.

More like “…thanks to years of neglect by Apple.”

I just checked. I have auto updates turned on, but I have 22 pending updates after refreshing. One of them is to an app that I thought was broken for the last week (Paramount+). I have no idea why this is an issue.

Put the keyboard on the back. Fold it one way to open the inner screen, fold it the other way to get a keyboard.

So my system has the bottom bar, but it doesn’t have the Offers tab. I wonder if it’s an A/B thing or if it’s related to pihole.

Edit: oh, nm, this is only different because it’s persistent. I don’t get the persistence on my system, so I guess it’s the old setup.

I have auto update turned on and I still need to do manual updates all the time. Moving that option always felt so user hostile to me although I can’t really say why.

You might like something from the a series, although the fingerprint reader on the 6a is still awful and the cameras are not amazing. The size and weight feel right though, closest ive come to a Nexus 5.

Google should just release it’s “iPhone user stalking puck” in the wild. That will light a fire under Apples ass.

Straight facts, I care more about my dog than I care about society.

Bit OT, but has anyone used the Samsung tracker? Are they any good?

Air tags do not have GPS either. They use UWB+bluetooth but rely on the phone for location data.

Consider the new beats instead.

I use my old Galaxy S9+ to run all my smarthome apps. There’s so many janky apps for various smarthome devices that I don’t want on my personal phone. I created an entirely seperate google account for the phone and have all the awful apps running on it. The goal is to have it also power a display with a Home Assistant dashboard. I also have it on a separate vlan so if it gets hacked/compromised they can’t access the other computers on the network.
